Daphne and Ben’s story is on shelves, and I couldn’t be more excited!

RT Book Reviews called it “a delightful tale filled with sexual sizzle and banter…Barton’s strong prose and wit will have readers clamoring for more.”

Tea, anyone?

Welcome, and thanks for stopping by! I’ve just returned from the Romance Writers of America’s annual conference in Atlanta, and one of the highlights was having high tea with my fellow “duchesses.” I wish I could offer you a warm scone with strawberries and clotted cream right now!

The month of August may seem a little quiet around here, but fun things are on the way! My novella, TO ALL THE RAKES I’VE LOVED BEFORE, releases on September 3. I’ll be sharing little excerpts in the days leading up to its release so that you can get to know Amelia and Stephen. I hope you’ll love them as much as I do!

To make sure you get all the latest updates, please sign up for my newsletter and/or “like” my Facebook page. Thanks, and be sure to try the lemon squares and Grand Marnier pastry puffs. Yum!

A Midsummer Update

It’s just two months till the release of my novella, TO ALL THE RAKES I’VE LOVED BEFORE, and I can’t wait! It’s a stand-alone story (but if you’ve read WHEN SHE WAS WICKED, you might recognize a few of the secondary characters) and shorter than a full-length novel…perfect for a couple hours of beach reading. It will be in e-book format for only 99 cents, and you can read more about it here.

Also, if you’re on Goodreads, you might want to checkout this giveaway. Enter anytime before July 25 for a chance to win one of 10 advance reading copies of my next book, ONCE SHE WAS TEMPTED, which will be in stores on October 29.

Finally, if you live in the Atlanta area, I’d love to meet you at the huge literacy signing at the Marquis Marriott on July 17. All my favorite romance authors will be there, and it’s for a good cause! Plus, I’m bringing swag:

Bookmarks, beads, and romance trading cards. Must find room in suitcase!

Thanks for stopping by! May your summer be filled with good friends, good times, and good books!

 

Meet Amelia…

Here’s the brand new and totally gorgeous cover for my September 3rd release, TO ALL THE RAKES I’VE LOVED BEFORE!

I had so much fun writing this story. Let’s just say that if the heroine, Amelia, were living in 2013, she’d spend way too much time in front of her computer reading juicy celebrity gossip. Not that I’d know anything about that. Anyway, if you’d like to go ahead and pre-order, it’s only 99 cents and available on Kindle, Nook, and iBooks.

Next month, I’ll be at the Romance Writer’s of America’s annual conference. It’s in Atlanta this year, and if you’re in the area I’d love to see you at the huge Literacy Autographing there. (I’ll be giving away swag too!)

Thanks for stopping by, and enjoy the lazy days of summer!

A giveaway to kick off summer!

Let’s celebrate the unofficial start of summer–(my favorite season and my hair’s least favorite season)–with a giveaway! If you’d like a chance to win an advance reading copy of ONCE SHE WAS TEMPTED, just sign up for my newsletter here. In case you’re curious, here’s the scoop on my newsletter:

In other exciting news, I have a novella e-book releasing on September 3–TO ALL THE RAKES I’VE LOVED BEFORE.

The cover should be ready in a few weeks, so please check back to see it.

Finally, summer is also the season for the Romance Writers of America’s annual conference. If you’re in Atlanta in July, please look for me at the huge literacy signing–it’s so much fun.
